Am I the only one dissipoined that the oversized foils in the kickstarter does not include the Oblivaeon and Vengeance style oversized cards? That leaves is with 18(?) large cards not foiled, which is a large amount!
If it is the matter of cost or time I rather wait or pay more to get the complete collection foiled (and even better alternative art too!)
Help us Greater Than Games, you are our only hope!
Edit: 10+5+3= 18,not 23...
it's a dealbreaker for me as well. by that i mean i would pay $30 (or a bit more, or whatever) to get all of the villains all foily, but i won't pay money to have some foils and some not. i don't even need new art -- it's just that things must match!
I know I'm in the minority, but I don't think it's that big a deal to leave out the ones they did. The vengeance villains and Oblivean sets are special separate sets, and the single villains are the main important ones that deserve foils. *shrugs. *
I'm pretty much with Chrono on this one. Vengeance style villains and Oblivaeon are both their own experiences, so it's not like we'll have some villain foil next to the normies, like we might with the heroes. Having never been swayed by foil or holo cards in my time (unless they are just too nifty in their selected use of particular holographic 'windows' instead of just shiny all over the card) my opinion might carry less weight, but for me the core villains are definitely the most important for any such treatment, as they see the table at least three times as often.
This isn't a deal-breaker for me. However, I think it's fair to note that, without including the team villains, the foil villain pack does represent worse value for money than the foil hero pack. The foil hero pack costs twice as much as the regular hero variant pack, but as well as being foil it contains all the standard hero cards. The foil villain pack costs twice as much as the regular oversized villain pack, but does not contain any extra cards.
If it included OblivAeon cards it would be a matter of time since they would be need to be fully tested. It'll be a bit of a stretch I think to make sure new heroes are ready for the main FOIL pack.
Yeah, getting all of the new hero cards playtested before the foil pack is going to be a chore, and getting Oblivaeon fully tested as well is more of a chore.
I agree that it will be more playtesting that will need to be done, but 3 more things to playtest (assuming Oblivaeon, Aeon men and Scions get oversized cards) is not a big deal compaired to the 11 new decks + all the promos that already need to be done.
That is why I rather get the foils of everything and wait until after Gencon if needed, so we can have a complete collection.
There are 12 Oversized Villain Character Cards in OblivAeon. 2 for OblivAeon and 1 for each of the 10 Scions. Hero Character Cards are also a lot easier to get to the finalized state than it is for the Villain Character Card.
Yeah, after so very long the playtesters know how to deal with heroes, an their powers are a fairly small part of their deck. Villains are a bit harder, whole new play modes are even harder than that, and the villain card has a lot more information on it. it is very much a big deal.
I too wish a complete foil villain pack would be available. It would definitely bother me to have some plain villains and some foil ones, even if Vengeance-style/OblivAeon villains don't get mixed with regular ones.
Wouldn't it be better to make a complete pack and delay it until OblivAeon is actually released? Seems like a lot of people would much rather wait longer and have all the foil.
I got the impression that the 5 OblivAeon Shield cards will also be oversized.
+1 to waiting and getting all the foils, but I totally understand if they don't go that way.
I cannot currently afford to do it regardless, but I'm another in the camp of "more likely to buy if it has all the foils, even if it means waiting."
I would definitely prefer all the cards being foiled and waiting, but I don't know if they would need to delay the heroes as well to keep the price at the right levels.
I agree that all should be foiled. I'm not buying this pack because I already own it in the Oversized Villains Pack that JUST came out. The big appeal of the other foil pack for me was not even the shiny stuff...it was the alt. art on EVERY hero...
All I want is an Agent of Gloom Spite card with the correct text on it.
Not sure if you know that, but they've promised this is coming, too.
I do know that!
wait where was that promised. I want to get on the list to get one.
I think it'll be a thing you can order at some point. A replacement card. I am going from memory so don't quote me.
